I find it eternally frustrating: Trump’s behavior is just the product of some very transparent, very disordered inner psychology. But for some reason that psychology is mostly taboo in the realm of political commentary; we have to pretend he has “beliefs” and “policy goals.” I assure you he does not

The Home Secretary explaining that the rise in racist violence is, actually, the natural response to higher levels of immigration is a state of affairs that can't exist without the government having largely decided that racist violence is, if not legitimate, at least understandable.

I meant Highway 51, not 61, another cover! I agree 61 is stretching the form a bit too much Just slightly later, She Belongs to Me comes to mind as a strict 12-bar blues; he's good at hiding them!

Ah, there's a bunch, no? Just off the first acoustic albums you've Fixin' to Die, Highway 51, See That My Grave Is Kept Clean, Down The Highway, Corinna Corinna, Hollis Brown... mostly covers, but then that's just the very strict 12-bar aab ones.
